    Hi,

    You will get all of the $600 refunded back to you, assuming you have claimed the $6000 tax free threshhold which I would be highly surprised if you haven't.

    With the low income tax offset of $1,350, any tax you would normally have to pay on income from $6000 - $12000 (6000 x 0.15 = $900) is eliminated.

    In summary you will receive a full refund for the $600 approximately in tax you have paid.

    Do you need an Accountant? Since your return is quite simple it would be quite inexpensive for you.
